Abstract
Introduction: the article considers issues related to the training of students at higher education organizations of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia. The type of training under consideration involves the use of simulation training tools to form and develop specific professional skills and qualities, enhance the practical orientation of training, and help students acquire and use practical skills. Aim: to show the prospects for building a practice-oriented model for educational process on the basis of generalization of the experience of using simulation tools in the process of training students at higher education institutions of FSIN Russia. Methods: theoretical analysis of literature and normative legal acts on the problem under consideration; synthesis and generalization; comparative legal method, empirical method, description, interpretation. Results: the analysis of the use of simulation tools in the training of students at higher education organizations of FSIN Russia contributes to the formation of universal, professional and special competencies required for the service in the departments of institutions and bodies of the penal system. Conclusions: the use of training grounds, training workplaces, training work routes, with the use of AR and VR technologies as well, will allow students to form a clear algorithm of actions when performing official duties, and teaching staff of higher education organizations of FSIN Russia – to create situations as close as possible to reality and to the conditions of correctional institutions. A practice-oriented approach to training contributes to high-quality training and optimizes professional adaptation of young officers to the service in the penal system.

Summary
The service in the penal system has its own specifics; it is associated with high requirements for the professional and psychological qualities of employees, increased responsibility for their own actions, emotional stress, moral, psychological and physical strain that require high professional training. Practice-oriented approach to teaching The Federal State Educational Standards of Higher Professional Education, according to which penal system specialists are currently trained, focus on achieving the “activity result” of educational process and determine the list of general and professional competencies, mastering which will allow penal staff to carry out professional activities efficiently In this regard, there is a need to shift the emphasis of teaching from the general professional theoretical sphere to the plane of practical implementation of specific professional tasks. In departmental universities that train employees for the penal system, due attention is not paid to planning, organizing and conducting practical classes, the potential of simulation training tools is not used to the fullest extent In this regard, students are poorly oriented in the professional environment, they do not have sufficiently formed skills and abilities that would allow them to provide effective counteraction to convicts’ illegal behavior in the future, etc. The method of conducting classes using simulation training tools will allow future penal officers to form an interest in their chosen profession and a sense of responsibility, develop organizational skills, initiative, will and perseverance [1; 16]; it will help to “immerse”
